The Clintons deducted $2.24 million previous year, and paid an effective federal tax rate of 34.2 percent and an effective combined tax rate of 43.2 percent. Half of their income came from speeches. She earned only $1.5 million.
Hillary Clinton gave dozens of paid speeches in 2013, 2014 and 2015 but gave this up before launching her candidacy for the White House in April 2015.
Trump – launching a broadside at Clinton over her husband’s signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993, which Trump says cost American jobs – also took aim at one of his favorite targets: the media.
“I would be delighted to meet him any place, any time, between now and the election”, he said.
Actions do speak louder than words, and the actions of Donald Trump show a man who doesn’t care about his fellow human beings.
‘We’ve come a long way from my days going door-to-door for the Children’s Defense Fund and earning $16,450 as a young law professor in Arkansas – and we owe it to the opportunities America provides, ‘ Clinton said. “There are no rules against showing your tax returns and just just let people ask questions about items that are on there”. Trump has gained two points in the Sunshine State over the last month, though Clinton is holding a two-point advantage over the businessman, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls.

“He refuses to do what every other presidential candidate in decades has done and release his tax returns”, she told the crowd. The returns could show his income hasn’t been as much as he’s boasted it’s been.
The Clintons paid $3,624,55 in taxes, according to the returns, taking $2,242,022 in itemized deductions and giving $1,042,000 to charity. They may show he has financial dealings that further hurt his election chances, especially if they’re with Russian interests.

There are many reasons why Donald Trump won’t release his tax returns, but the common thread through them all is that his tax returns will reveal that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is built on a mountain of lies. Richard Nixon released his own taxes under audit in 1973, in part because of accusations of tax-dodging that eventually forced the disgraced former president to pay the IRS $476,431 in back taxes.
